Ubuntu services hit by outages after DDoS attack
Key Ubuntu services, including its package repositories and Launchpad, have been experiencing prolonged outages for over a day. The disruption has been attributed to a significant Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, impacting developers and CI/CD pipelines worldwide.

An attack on core infrastructure like Ubuntu's repos is a direct hit on developer productivity globally. This highlights the fragility of our software supply chains and the need for mirrored or cached dependencies.
